US_Dec 09 North America » United States » Ohio » Cincinnati

I think this is the time I should start writing about my travelling explorations. I had this vacation in winter 09 nd I decided not to kill time in Montreal even if it was extremely cold outside. However travelling in winter in America is a different experience. So I went to the US. Fortunately, I had a friend there. Therefore, shelter was not an issue. I went to Cincinnati, OH and Detroit, MI. Lousy weather did not allow me to visit another places. The main difference one can observe in a new place is people out there. Of course, people at [View Full Entry]

Toniná, CHIAPAS. North America » Mexico » Chiapas » Toniná

Photo 2

Palenque, Chiapas, a 16 de octubre del 2009. Saludos a todos y todas. Pues sigo con mis visitas a edificios viejos. En esta ocasiòn me di una vuelta por las ruinas de Toninà, ubicadas cerca de la ciudad de Ocosingo (tierra zapatista), nombre que curiosamente no es maya, sino tzeltal, que quiere decir "casa de piedra" (me lo dijo un señor tzeltal en mi viaje de regreso a Palanque, informaciòn respaldada por internet). Pues bien, esa "madresota" que ven ahì, y que la càmara no alcanzò a tomarla en su totalidad, fue uno de los centros religiosos mayas màs importantes (y [View Full Entry]

Travels with Cali North America » United States » Colorado

Wedding Dress Store

Chapter 31 Travels with Cali July 17: I left Flying J about 6:00 am and headed west for a bit, then south. Cali—Wow! I've never seen Mommy up this early before! I wonder what is going on? Crazy fool that I am, I decided not to go through Cheyenne and Denver to Pueblo. I'm not quite tired of seeing mountains yet, so I aimed for Steamboat Springs, CO. That way I thought I could bypass two big cities and a lot of time on the Interstate. (I prefer back roads to Interstate.) Of course, I didn't look closely at the map [View Full Entry]

Pittsburg, California North America » United States » California » San Francisco

Pittsburg High School

Today I had the pleasure of being a videographer at a high school girls basketball tournament in Pittsburg, California--a city in San Francisco metro area. My friend's team was victorious in the first round of the tournament and will be facing a new fierce opponent tomorrow night. I was writing down some thoughts in my notebook and some parents thought I was a college recruiter... Even though it was nice to help out my friend and support the team, I hope to occupy myself with activities that I really love--exploring San Francisco and visiting museums. That is what I hope to [View Full Entry]

Don't bring a gun to a snow fight! North America » United States » Maine » Portland

Family chrissy in Vermont

There have been fierce winter storms recently in some areas of the United States. In the aftermath of the storms a snow fight was organised in one city by a social networking website as a chance for the locals to finally venture out, after being cooped up in their houses for several days. The snow was flying around but one cop took exception to how he was faring, with perhaps a few of the snowballs being too tightly packed! Anyways he decided to pull a gun on his snow flinging tormentors as you do I guess, only problem being that several [View Full Entry]

Ek' Balam, YUCATÁN. North America » Mexico » Yucatán » Ek Balam

The AcrÃ³polis.

Cobá, Q.R., a 4 de octubre del 2009. Saludos. Ahì les mando unas fotos de las ruinas de Ek' Balam, ubicadas 45 minutos al norte de Valladolid, Yucatàn. El sitio es màs viejo que Chiche Itzá. Como las ruinas no estàn muy "choteadas", pues creo que sus fotos no seràn muy comunes. Sòlo ha sido limpiado en parte, dado que como buena ciudad perdida que fue, la vegetaciòn selvàtica lo cubriò durante años. El edificio màs grande es la Acròpolis, que se supone es el 2o. edificio maya màs grande en la penìnsula de Yucatàn (30 metros de alto y màs [View Full Entry]

Niagara Falls North America » Canada » Ontario » Niagara Falls

Toronto Hotel

Just left Niagara Falls. We absolutely were amazed with the Falls. We stayed at the Travel Lodge right on Clifton Hills. The town is full of tourist things to do, like wax museums and haunted houses. We took the train and bus from Toronto and ended in Niagara Falls on Saturday afternoon. The temperature was about 3 degrees celcius. It wasn't too bad, for the dead of winter! Heading out today for Montreal by Rail Canada. It started to snow a bit but it's not sticking. Enjoying the trip. [View Full Entry]

Joshua Tree North America » United States » California » Joshua Tree National Park

Rocket Pocket

By Melisse. Boulders piled high, precariously balanced, rounded sensuous forms, textured perfectly for traction. A playground extraordinaire, picking our way, scaling rock faces, up and down. Quito bounds from top to rock top. Testing limits while staying safe. Joshua trees, unique to the area, cartoon-like in form, spike the crystal blue or moody sky. Creosote, Jojoba, cholla, acacia, yucca, prickly pear and more, all adapted to desert clime, with reduced leaves, green bark. Spectacular prickly beauty. Snuggly cocooned in comfy tent, wind whipping fiercely throughout the chilly dese [View Full Entry]
